I have created a company with a couple of friends from Bar school.
The company is primarily involved with Small Claims cases at the moment, though we hope to expand in the future.
We offer a service, at a fixed cost, to help people through the small claims court.
No, this won’t be beneficial if you are claiming back £200 for a broken purchase; however, small claims now extend to £10,000 so if you’re trying to claim back £4,000 + you might find the service useful.
We have broken the service into 3 parts, this ensures that you don’t pay more than necessary; should the other party concede defeat before the case goes to court. We do not charge an hourly rate, so there is no growing expense as the case drags on in time.
The directors of the company have law degrees (LLB) or Graduate Diplomas (GDL) and have all passed the BPTC, which is the professional training course that Barristers must complete prior to pupillage. None of the directors have completed a pupillage, so none of the directors are “barristers” for the purpose of holding out for legal services.
Each of the directors have experience of cases from start to finish in a variety of courts and tribunals, and have extensive training in the Civil Procedure Rules.
You can expect a professional quality service at a stripped down price by engaging the services of Briefcase Law Ltd, rather than that of a solicitor or barrister.
As a disclaimer. We do not conduct your case. We assist you in conducting your case. This will mean that we will tell you what the technicalities are; we will draft documents for your approval and signature; we will collate and create trial bundles; draft witness statements; and ensure that you comply with all of the court orders that are made. We can even represent you in court as an advocate should the case go that far.
We do not collect money for “disbursements”. We tell you what you must pay to the court, and you pay the court. We send you court documents and you post them. We will write to the other party as a part of the service.
If you wish to bring a small claim, or know someone who does, or need to defend yourself in a small claim made against you, then please feel free to get in touch, either through the website, email or by using the telephone number on the site.
